Penelope Cruze


From the movie Nine I really wanted to use Nicole Kidman's "Unusual Way." It's a great example of how an actress utilizes her craft and knowhow.

This is not "Unusual Way."

Penelope Cruze pulls off no small task giving rigorous personality to the role of Carla for the celluloid treatment of the Maury Yeston musical. Thoroughly funny and tragic at the same time, Ms. Cruze's Carla is on edge throughout. And for her big number "A Call From The Vatican" Penelope turns it out, replicating Anita Morris's original contortionist movements and poses. She earned every bit of her Oscar nomination.
